"Pretty much anybody that has analytics embedded in their system is calling it a form of AI. It's confusing the marketplace, and frankly, I think it's incredibly unfair to the consumer."

Lovejoy is CEO of BluVector, which offers a machine learning threat detection and hunting solution.

Previously, Lovejoy served as president of Acuity Solutions, general manager of IBM's security services division, and CISO of IBM, among other roles.
